In October 2025, Bose announced it would end all cloud support for its SoundTouch product line on February 18, 2026. The shutdown will strip affected devices of streaming services, app control, and multiroom features, which are core components of the system’s design. Consumers have called the move planned obsolescence, noting it effectively bricks products still in working order. Despite backlash and petitions, Bose has refused to open-source the platform, offering only limited trade-in credits instead of allowing consumers to make full use of the device they purchased.
